    Abstract Most complex diseases involve genetic and environmental risk factors, engage multiple cells and tissues, and follow a polygenic or omnigenic model depicting numerous genes contributing to pathophysiology. These multidimensional complexities pose challenges to traditional approaches that examine individual factors. In turn, multitissue multiomics systems biology has emerged to comprehensively elucidate within- and cross-tissue molecular networks underlying gene-by-environment interactions and contributing to complex diseases. The power of systems biology in retrieving novel insights and formulating new hypotheses has been well documented. However, the field faces various challenges that call for debate and action. In this opinion article, I discuss the concepts, benefits, current state, and challenges of the field and point to the next steps toward network-based systems medicine.

    Abstract Background: The relationship between cerebrospinal fluid pressure (CSFP) and cognition has received little research attention. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between CSFP and cognition in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and patients with Lewy body dementia (LBD).
    Method: We included 178 participants, including 137 patients with AD and 41 patients with LBD (including dementia with Lewy bodies (DLBs) and Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD)). CSFP was measured by lumbar puncture, and a patient-reported history and laboratory test data were collected. Logistic and linear regression analyses were used to evaluate the associations between CSFP and cognition, the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) / serum albumin ratio (Qalb), and CSF biomarkers of AD.
    Results: The mean age of the included patients was 63.58 ± 8.77 years old, and the mean CSFP was 121 ± 33.72 mmH2O. A total of 76.9% of the patients had a CSFP distribution of [90-170) mmH2O, 46 patients (25.8%) had severe dementia, 83 patients (46.6%) had moderate dementia, 28 patients (15.7%) had mild dementia, and 21 patients (11.8%) had mild cognitive impairment (MCI) (including 16 patients with MCI due to AD and 5 patients with MCI due to LBD). In all patients (p value < 0.001) and in patients with AD (p value = 0.01), the mean cerebrospinal fluid pressure (CSFP) was higher in patients with MCI than in patients with dementia. In multivariate analysis, in all patients (OR: 6.37, 95% confidential interval (CI): 1.76-23.04, p = 0.005) and patients with AD (odds ratio (OR): 5.43, 95% CI: 1.41-20.87, p = 0.005), a CSFP in the lowest quartile ([50-90) mmH2O) was associated with a higher level of severe dementia than a CSFP in the highest quartile ([170-210) mmH2O). In addition, there was a significant linear correlation between CSFP and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score in all patients with dementia (r = 0.43, p = 0.04, Durbin-Watson test (D-W test) = 0.75).
    Conclusion: In patients with AD, the mean cerebrospinal fluid pressure was higher in patients with MCI than in patients with dementia, and the decrease in CSFP was related to a more serious dementia level. However, no such relationship was found in patients with LBD.

    Abstract Diabetes mellitus(DM) is a chronic endocrine disease characterized by hyperglycemia caused by carbohydrate or lipid metabolism disorders or insulin dysfunction. Hyperglycemia and long-term metabolic disorders in DM can damage tissues and organs throughout the body, leading to serious complications. Mitochondrial autophagy(mitophagy) is an important mitochondrial quality control process in cells and a special autophagy phenomenon, in which damaged or redundant mitochondria can be selectively removed by autophagic lysosome, which is crucial to maintain cell stability and survival under stress. Studies have confirmed that changes in autophagy play a role in the development and control of DM and its complications. Mitophagy has become a research hotspot in recent years and it is closely associated with the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases. Substantial evidence suggests that mitophagy plays a crucial role in regulating the metabolic homeostasis in the case of DM and its complications. Because the destructive great vessel complications and microvascular complications cause increased mortality, blindness, renal failure, and declined quality of life of DM patients, it is urgent to develop targeted therapies to intervene in DM and its complications. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), with a multi-component, multi-target, and multi-level action manner, can prevent the development of drug resistance and have significant therapeutic effects in the prevention and treatment of DM and its complications. Therefore, exploring the mechanisms of TCM in regulating mito-phagy may become a new method for treating DM and its complications. With focus on the roles and mechanisms of mitophagy in DM and its complications, this paper summarizes and prospects the research on the treatment of DM and its complications with TCM via re-gulating mitophagy, aiming to provide new ideas for the clinical practice.

    Abstract Objective: Several epidemiological studies have identified a potential link between serum uric acid(UA), gout and sepsis. The primary objective of this study is to delve deeper into this connection, investigating the causal effect of UA and gout on sepsis by applying Mendelian Randomization (MR).
    Methods: The causal relationship was analyzed using data from genome-wide association study(GWAS). Inverse variance weighting (IVW) was used as the main analysis method. Three complementary methods were used for our MR analysis, which included the MR-Egger regression method, the weighted median method, the simple median method. Horizontal pleiotropy was identified by MR-Egger intercept test. Cochran's Q statistics were employed to assess the existence of instrument heterogeneity. The leave-one-out method was used as a sensitivity analysis.
    Results: The IVW results indicated that there was a positive causal relationship between UA and sepsis(critical care) (OR = 0.24, 95%CI: 0.04 to 0.43, P = 0.018, F = 4291.20). There was no significant association between UA and sepsis(28 day death in critical care) (OR = 0.10, 95%CI: -0.29 to 0.50, P = 0.604). There was no significant association between gout and sepsis(critical care) (OR = 0.85, 95%CI: -4.87 to 6.57, P = 0.771), and sepsis(28 day death in critical care) (OR = -6.30, 95%CI: -17.41 to 4.81, P = 0.267). Horizontal pleiotropy was absent in this study. The results were robust under all sensitivity analyses.
    Conclusion: The study revealed that elevated UA levels was causally linked with sepsis(critical care). No causal relationship had been found between UA and sepsis(28 day death in critical care), as well as between gout and sepsis.

    Abstract Background: Educational duration might play a vital role in preventing the occurrence and development of osteoporosis(OP).
    Purpose: To assess the causal effect of educational duration on bone mineral density(BMD) and risk factors for OP by Mendelian randomization(MR) study.
    Methods: The causal relationship was analyzed using data from genome-wide association study(GWAS). Inverse variance weighting (IVW) was used as the main analysis method. Horizontal pleiotropy was identified by MR-Egger intercept test, MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO) test. The leave-one-out method was used as a sensitivity analysis.
    Results: The IVW results indicated that there was a positive causal relationship between educational duration and BMD (OR = 1.012, 95%CI:1.003-1.022), physical activity(PA) (OR = 1.156, 95%CI:1.032-1.295), calcium consumption (OR = 1.004, 95%CI:1.002-1.005), and coffee intake (OR = 1.019, 95%CI:1.014-1.024). There was a negative association between whole body fat mass (OR = 0.950, 95%CI:0.939-0.961), time for vigorous PA (OR = 0.955, 95%CI:0.939-0.972), sunbath (OR = 0.987, 95%CI:0.986-0.989), salt consumption (OR = 0.965, 95%CI:0.959-0.971), fizzy drink intake (OR = 0.985, 95%CI:0.978-0.992), smoking (OR = 0.969, 95%CI:0.964-0.975), and falling risk (OR = 0.976, 95%CI:0.965-0.987). There was no significant association between educational duration and lean mass, time for light-to-moderate PA, milk intake, and alcohol intake. Horizontal pleiotropy was absent in this study. The results were robust under sensitivity analyses.
    Conclusion: A longer educational duration was causally linked with increased BMD. No causal relationship had been found between educational duration and lean mass, time for light-to-moderate PA, milk intake, and alcohol consumption as risk factors for osteoporosis.

    Abstract Landslides pose a great threat to the safety of people’s lives and property within disaster areas. In this study, the Zigui to Badong section of the Three Gorges Reservoir is used as the study area, and the land use (LU), land use change (LUC) and band math (band) factors from 2016–2020 along with six selected commonly used factors are used to form a land use factor combination (LUFC), land use change factor combination (LUCFC) and band math factor combination (BMFC). An artificial neural network (ANN), a support vector machine (SVM) and a convolutional neural network (CNN) are chosen as the three models for landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM). The results show that the BMFC is generally better than the LUFC and the LUCFC. For the validation set, the highest simple ranking scores for the three models were obtained for the BMFC (37.2, 32.8 and 39.2), followed by the LUFC (28, 26.6 and 31.8) and the LUCFC (26.8, 28.6 and 20); that is, the band-based predictions are better than those based on the LU and LUC, and the CNN model provides the best prediction ability. According to the four groups of experimental results with ANNs, compared with LU and LUC, band is easier to access, yields higher predictive performance, and provides stronger stability. Thus, band can replace LU and LUC to a certain extent and provide support for automatic and real-time landslide monitoring.

    Abstract At present, China is moving towards the direction of “Industry 4.0”. The development of the automobile industry, especially intelligent automobiles, is in full swing, which brings great convenience to people’s life and travel. However, at the same time, urban traffic pressure is also increasingly prominent, and the situation of traffic congestion and traffic safety is not optimistic. In this context, the Internet of Vehicles (also known as “IoV”) opens up a new way to relieve urban traffic pressure. Therefore, in order to further optimize the road network traffic conditions in the IoV environment, this research focuses on the traffic flow prediction algorithm on the basis of deep learning to enhance traffic efficiency and safety. First, the study investigates the short-time traffic flow prediction by combining the characteristics of the IoV environment. To address the issues that existing algorithms cannot automatically extract data features and the model expression capability is weak, the study chooses to build a deep neural network using GRU model in deep learning for short-time traffic flow prediction, thereby improving the prediction accuracy of algorithm. Secondly, a fine-grained traffic flow statistics approach suitable for the IoV situation is suggested in accordance with the deep learning model that was built. The algorithm sends the vehicle characteristic data obtained through GRU model training into the fine-grained traffic flow statistics algorithm, so as to realize the statistics of traffic information of various types of vehicles. The advantage of this algorithm is that it can well count the traffic flow of multiple lanes, so as to better predict the current traffic status and achieve traffic optimization. Finally, the IoV environment is constructed to confirm the effectiveness of the prediction model. The prediction results prove that the new algorithm has good performance in traffic flow statistics in different scenarios.

    Abstract Truck-drone delivery is widely used in logistics distribution for achieving sustainable development, in which drone weight greatly affects transportation cost. Thus, we consider a new combined truck-drone pickup and delivery problem with drone weight-related cost in the context of last-mile logistics. A system of integer programming is formulated with the objective of minimizing the total cost of the drone weight-related cost, fixed vehicle cost and travel distance cost. An improved adaptive large neighborhood search algorithm (IALNS) is designed based on the characteristics of the problem, several effective destroy and repair operators are designed to explore the solution space, and a simulated annealing strategy is introduced to avoid falling into the local optimal solution. To evaluate the performance of the IALNS algorithm, 72 instances are randomly generated and tested. The computational results on small instances show that the proposed IALNS algorithm performs better than CPLEX both in efficiency and effectiveness. When comparing the truck-drone pickup and delivery problem with drone weight-related cost to the problem without drone weight-related cost, it is found that ignoring the drone weight constraints leads to an underestimate of the total travel cost by 12.61% based on the test of large instances.
